Imam Ibn Ul Jauzi Rh.A was a great scholar of his time, he had written around 150 books on different aspects of religious and worldly matters.

Normally Ibn Ul Jauzi is famous as a scholar only, but he also wrote some books which have got a lot of humor in them. One of those humorous black and white is “من اخبار الحمقی والمغفلین”

He writes in this book:

An innocent man was going somewhere with his donkey. A man saw him and said to his friend: ” I will take away his donkey and i will not let him know of it “. His friend inquired: “How is it possible when the rope of donkey is in his hands?”

Man replied: “keep waching” , and he stepped forward, took off the rope from the neck of the donkey, wore it around his own neck and said to his friend: “Take the donkey and go from here”.

After some time , the donkey’s owner looked back and found no donkey but a man, he got amazed and asked: “where is the donkey”?

Man: “i am the donkey”

Owner: “Whatttttt??? How is it possible?

Man: “actually i always used to disobey my mother, one day she said some bad words to me, and since then i am a donkey, and have been serving you, , but now my mother has uttered some good words for me and i have again become a human. ”

Owner amazingly said, “ohh., i have been using you and you were a human?”

Man: “Yes, exactly”

Owner: “Okay then, go on your way” (and the man quickly went away)

The donkey’s owner went to his house , and kept thinking for some days, at last he thought to buy a new donkey , so he reached a market to buy one.

There he saw his first donkey, he stepped towards him, and as he reached almost near to the donkey , he said in his ear:

“O DEVIL! HAVE YOU AGAIN DISOBEYED YOUR MUM?: 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

* Keeeep smiling.

Al-jahiz is from one of the greatest scholars and writers of his time, he was born in Basarah, in the days when Basarah was a specified place for arabic studies . He loved reading, and was a book lover. As his father died when al jahiz was still quite young, so he used to sell bread and fish to make some earning. , and with that little earning he used to buy books and copies. Whenever he found some book, he would start it from the beginning and end it on the last page:) About literature and languages he wrote more than 300 books.

Al-jahiz also liked to add funny material in his writings time to time. Jahiz has added some funny happenings regarding his own self in his book.

He himself writes:

“No one laughed at me more than the two ladies, one of them i saw in the market, she was so tall, i thought to have some fun with her . When she passed by me i said to her, “Will you please “come down” and join me in eating? (jahiz was eating something). The lady replied to me , “and will you please “come up”, so that you can see the world.? (as jahiz was of very small height).:)

As far as the other lady is concerned , she came to me when i was standing at the door of my house, and said, “i need you, and i want you to please follow me”,, i started walking behind her , and we reached a goldsmith’s shop, she said to the shopkeeper, “Like him” and speedily went out . I asked the goldsmith about what she had said? He told me, “she had came to me with a pearl and ordered to carve Satan’s picture on that, i told her that madam i have never seen Satan (how can i make his picture?) so she has brought you here:) (as jahiz was quite ugly.)”
